The other day as I was walking home from work I saw a couple of kids putting up a lemonade stand. I was breezing on by nonchalantly- headphones in ears, ipod in hand- as they were yelling at me noisily from across the street. Their sign said “Save Darfur now! Buy Lemonade!” They looked like they were no more than 10 years old, probably younger.
What was I doing at 10 years of age? My friends and I were trying to sell packaged oreos door-to-door to raise money for Disney Cruise tickets. Of course when we amazingly earned ~5 dollars, we gave in to temptation and bought ice cream instead. And here are these selfless young 'uns- trying to raise global awareness.
I wanted to kick myself for not carrying cash.
